Hi folks,

If you have an account at Snyder's, you probably got an email on Weds. announcing that they were re-launching their website and giving all users the same temporary password. This is not great security practice as it is, but the real problem is that as of right now the function to change your password on the new site does not work. Thus everyone is stuck with the same password, and anyone who knew the email address you used to register could potentially log in and view your account, order history, mailing address, etc.

If this bothers you (maybe it doesn't!), you can give them a call, speak to Jeff, and ask him to set your new password manually. I'm sure they'll have the reset function working soon, but I just wanted to alert folks in case anyone has privacy concerns.
